GSC Game World, developers of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, express deep gratitude for surpassing 1 million copies sold within two days of launch across Steam and Xbox consoles. An upcoming patch promises further enhancements. Let's delve into the details of this impressive launch and the planned improvements.

A Million Copies Sold – A Phenomenal Start

The Chornobyl Exclusion Zone is bustling with activity! GSC Game World proudly announced reaching the 1 million sales milestone in just 48 hours, encompassing both Steam and Xbox Series X|S platforms. Launched on November 20th, 2024, STALKER 2 has captivated players, immersing them in a challenging survival experience filled with hostile NPCs and mutated creatures. The reported sales figure likely underrepresents the actual player count, considering the significant number of players accessing the game via Xbox Game Pass. The developers expressed sincere appreciation for this overwhelming support, stating, "This is just the beginning of our unforgettable adventure. Thank you, stalkers!"

Community Collaboration: Bug Reporting and Feedback

While the launch was incredibly successful, GSC Game World acknowledges the presence of bugs and encourages player participation in improving the game. They've created a dedicated website for bug reporting and feedback, urging players to utilize this platform rather than Steam forums for more efficient issue tracking and resolution. The website provides a streamlined process for reporting issues, offering technical support and a knowledge base with FAQs and troubleshooting guides.

First Patch Arriving This Week

Following extensive player feedback, GSC Game World announced (November 24th) the first post-release patch for both PC and Xbox platforms, arriving within the week. This patch addresses critical issues, including crashes, main quest progression roadblocks, and various gameplay refinements. Balance adjustments, particularly weapon pricing, are also included. Future updates will tackle the analog stick and A-Life systems. The developers reiterated their commitment to ongoing improvements, thanking players for their valuable input and suggestions.
